GEZE cares for unusual animals

Christiane Rohns, founder and chief executive of the Gnadenhof "Lebenswürde für Tiere e.V." has taken on the task of providing a good home for mistreated and neglected animals. On the former stud farm at Amtzell in Allgäu, there are approximately 300 animals including ducks, cats, dogs, horses and even exotics such as lamas and a pot-bellied pig.

Christiane Rohns has a special gift for relating to dogs with disturbed behaviour and can quickly re-establish trust between animal and human. She is able to transform traumatised dogs (previously considered a dangerous task) into reliable domestic animals in order to hand them over to experienced dog handlers.

Managing Director Brigitte Vöster-Alber, being an animal lover and pet owner herself, is supporting the association with regular donations. A lot of funds are needed to convert and develop the site as well as for running costs including food and other consumables. The association will also continue to be dependent on generous donations to help abused animals.
